When I dump the game in IsoBuster, the resulting file matches redump. I also made another dump a long time ago with ImgBurn using a different drive which also matched redump. I also tried dumping twice in DIC, once at 48x speed and once at 1x. Neither time had any C2 errors and were both done using a PX-716A. Any ideas as to what's going on?

Are there any PCI/PCIe IDE/ATA cards that are supported/work with DIC?

I figured out today that the ancient Promise Ultra133 XT2 that I had in my spare parts box is incompatible,[1] but I'm hoping there's a more recent option that will give me at least two extra IDE/ATA ports that I can attach drives to for DIC. All of the i7-compatible motherboards I have only have one IDE/ATA port, and I've got 4-5 format-specific drives with that interface which I'd like to put in my legacy-media-dumping system.

If there's an interest in debugging the Ultra133 problem, I'm happy to help out with that too, but I assume that supporting 15+-year-old cards is not a priority .

[1] I assume because its driver makes attached drives look like SCSI devices instead of ATAPI.

If drives are recognized with your PC, DIC will work.

OK, thank you. I have a bunch of drives that work when attached directly to an IDE port on a motherboard, or via a USB adapter, but fail to read discs via DIC when attached to one of the two ports on the PCI card. They can be used in Windows, just not to dump images via DIC.

I am confident that the PCI card works, because I just used it to dump a disc image of an original Xbox dev kit's hard drive.

I've tried with the following drives just now so that I'd have raw output for you:

- PX-712A- GDR-8163B- TS-H352C- Samsung SM308 (random DVD drive I had laying around which I've gotten good dumps from using other pre-DIC tools)

Here is the output when dumping a standard retail PS2 disc when the first two are connected directly to the motherboard:

If this is something you're interested in troubleshooting, I'm happy to buy you one of these cards if it will help, or send you money to buy one yourself. They're old, but there are tons of them out there on eBay, etc.

If there's an equivalent, more modern card that you know works and is < US$100, I'm also happy to just buy it. My goal here is to be able to quickly dump discs without having to power down and swap cables. I try to avoid IDE cable swapping if at all possible, because it's so easy to bend or break the pins.

My fallback plan is to buy a USB => IDE adapter for each of the drives and connect them to a hub inside the tower.

Here is the output when I try to dump the same disc with the drives connected to the Ultra133 PCI card instead:

FormatCode: 43, 69, 6d etc... are not defined. It seems the Ultra133 PCI card doesn't support ReadDiscStructure command. Please try to update the driver of PCI card if not latest.

I'm using the latest driver, and the latest BIOS .

I'm reasonably sure this card isn't going to work, based on what you've said.

It sounds like I'm the first person in this specific situation (needing to add more IDE/ATA ports to an existing system for use with DIC), so I'm going to order these and see if either of them work any better:

Good news: both of those cards (the StarTech 2 Port PCI IDE Controller Adapter Card, and the IOCrest PCIe SI-PEX40059) both work for me with DIC under Windows 10. The StarTech card is a little hard for me to recommend, however, because it blocks the use of the next slot down on the motherboard. If one doesn't need that slot, or the PCI slot is the last slot, that wouldn't be a problem. The IDE connector will press against the next card down when a cable is connected to the IOCrest card, but at least it doesn't actually block the slot. I guess if one is handy with a soldering iron, they could also swap out the downward-facing IDE connectors on either card for ones that face outward.

sarami, do you think you could get your CSS tool to be able to detect RCE protection? Currently that CSS tool outputs all DVD-Video information needed except for RCE protection info. It would be great if we could get DIC/CSS to detect it without the need to use DVDDecrypter.

I dumped this twice with DICUI and got the same hashes, then dumped again with ISO Buster and got a different hash. Let me know if I need to run further tests, this is going up for sale on Sunday and I won't have it shortly after.

So is it safe to assume that all discs in the database with -59 offset are actually -647, and +576 are actually -12?Is it possible that other offsets are also affected?And securom data remains the same? (the test version produces the same data)

And what about audio tracks that are dumped with -59 offset? (I'm not sure if there are any)
